Who looks Whiter. Bjork or Penelope Cruz
What would you guess Penelope Cruz as if you didn't know?
Classify Penelope and Monica Cruz.
How typical is Penelope Cruz (and her family) for Spain?

She looks Levantine and it's remarkable who she looks very much like Queen Rania of Jordan who is of Palestinian origins.

I think the same. I've said so before as well. If people on here did not know she was Spanish, they'd never guess it.

I always thought she was some kind of an Arab, if she was smaller since Arabids are small generally and more gracile she would fit in Arabia imao.

^ She still looks Levantine to me.

She fits in the Levant, slightly darker and smaller she would fit in Arabia as Arabids are small Meds adapted to Desert climate.

So little can do so much to change an appearance. Reality can be so easily distorted by our perception and expectations.
